If you like to monitor your machines using SNMP and find yourself on a machine running OpenSolaris, chances are that there is
/usr/sfw/bin/snmpd
already installed. But there’s no service or init script to actually run it automatically. In that case, just install the necessary package from the OpenSolaris repostiory:
pkg install SUNWsmmgr
Afterwards, you can enable SNMP by issuing
svcadm enable sma
. Don’t forget to first edit
/etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf
.
